Dembele started his career at Fulham in 2014, making two appearances in the Premier League before they were relegated.
He then joined Celtic, scoring an impressive fifty–one goals in ninety–four games, including a hat–trick against Rangers in his derby debut.
After two years in Glasgow, he moved to French side Lyon, where he remains now, but manager Laurent Blanc does not see him as a first–team player, forcing the striker to weigh up his options.
Several English teams, including Southampton, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, and Everton, have been linked to Dembele over the past few months.
Everton were reportedly close to signing him during the transfer window but failed to do so. Now, they are offering him a four-year contract, though his decision will depend on their survival in the Premier League.
Dembele won’t commit to a contract, with Everton still scrapping relegation with nine games left to play. He’ll wait until their future in the Premier League is confirmed before signing any paperwork.
